Mike I really hear what your saying, I read your other post too. Walk away for a short time and go to some events and look at the junk that's out there winning trophies. Go the the A/C auction in two weeks and see what the word of flippers are selling and at what $$$$$. You'll get a good laugh and hopefully come home and continue with this Standout Car!!!!
Aftermarket parts have to be bought right before using because they are mostly junk! Don't let that part of the hobby kill it for you. Wait until you take this perfect Black Runner out of the garage and it gets dust on it in 13 seconds before you quit the hobby!!! J/K
